Opens New Regional Midwest Office in Columbus

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Plymouth Industrial REIT, Inc. (NYSE American: PLYM) announced that it has signed a lease to fully occupy its 527,127-square-foot building located at 3500 Southwest Boulevard in Columbus (Grove City), Ohio. The three-year lease was signed with Stonecrop Technologies, a wireless systems deployment company headquartered in Petaluma, CA. The lease is scheduled to commence March 15, 2018 and includes annual rent increases and one three-year renewal option.

Founded in 2001, Stonecrop Technologies has been transforming cellular and microwave deployments through a system of coordinated tools and processes that align design, supply chain, and installation. Working at a national level, Stonecrop delivers solutions by speeding the build and upgrade of carrier networks and improving performance. The lease includes an option to terminate, with penalties, should certain local economic incentives fail to materialize by March 27, 2018 on behalf of Stonecrop.

Pendleton White, Jr., President and Chief Investment Officer, noted, “We were confident in releasing 3500 Southwest Boulevard during the first half of this year, and that is exactly what we achieved. This lease with Stonecrop demonstrates the benefit of leveraging our strong local presence as well as a proactive asset management team that can tailor a solution for a growing national tenant.”

The Company also announced that it opened a new regional office in Columbus, serving the Company’s properties there as well as Cincinnati, Cleveland and Indiana. The office will be led by Benjamin Crock, serving as regional property manager. Mr. Crock, who previously served in a similar capacity for Cushman & Wakefield in Columbus, now oversees the property management of over three million square feet that Plymouth owns in these markets.

Jeff Witherell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Plymouth Industrial REIT, commented, “Ohio and Indiana are important markets for us. We are committed to our tenants in these markets and are interested in expanding our footprint through future acquisitions. To best support this growth, we brought in a talented property manager and will add personnel to assist him in the near term. This move is in line with our strategic vision and will help increase our visibility and responsiveness to our customers.”
